Innocence...

This is a poem i wrote long ago. I wanted to write something fresh but it just wouldn't come. so i guess I'll just do with this... (This is one of my favourite poems)

I saw a flower grow behind my yardIts stem so soft but the ground so hardAnd yet he blossomed with the rising sunCurious about the lessons he was to learnHe faced the sun with twinkling eyesHis soul was true and it knew no liesIn the river below he saw himselfThe nature smiled at his innocence

As the day passed by it grew so hotIn the scorching sun he felt so caughtHe shut his eyes, so full of tears,The revolting nature filled with fearsHe became tensed, wanted to run awayTo back to his past and find his wayHe cursed the nature, which took offenceThe flower began to lose his innocence

The evening came with different coloursThe shades of grey and the sky grew dullerThe clouds thundered, it began to rainThe flower screamed for help but in vainThe river now reflected an image so vagueThe flower shed his petals and grew so fakeWhy nobody heard, he couldn’t make senseThe flower was deprived of his innocence

The night came on and harder it grew.The flower knew not what he should doHis voice was drowned with the noise of rainHis naked flesh now bled with painHe prayed so hard to the clouds aboundBut his cry for mercy was again drownedThe stem was breaking, the pain intenseThe flower died, so did his innocence

But a new sun rose in the morning sky,The rain had ceased now the birds could flyI went early morning, behind my yard Where the ground was soft and no more hardAnd I saw the remains of that innocent lifeWhose body had been through pain and strifePetals and stem still showed brillianceBut dead lay an innocence

But some things they say never dieSo I know, as the time passes byThe petals will mix with the new soilAnd then, if the nature toilsSoon I will see another flowerIn a blessed divine hourAnd then the nature will smile againAt the never ending innocence...
